Singer/Songwriter G Tom Mac, Performance Artist/Contortionist Sin Fisted and magician Arthur Gomez joined Mark and Josi for a wild party as The Dark Mark Show celebrated its 1 year anniversary.
G Tom Mac talked about his extraordinary career, which has included working with Kiss, Roger Daltrey and Chicago. He relayed stories about Ice Cube mispronouncing his name but digging his beats so much he put him on the soundtrack of The Players Club, Eminem being a fan of his, being on the soundtrack of many movies including Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Mark held up his vinyl copy for proof) and talked about the eternal appeal of his best known song Cry Little Sister, how it is the ultimate vampire song that won’t die, and G played an amazing acoustic version of CLS with Josi and Sin on backup vocals.
Sin talked about blowing minds with recent burlesque performances as Dr. Frank N Furter from Rocky Horror and Marilyn Manson, shot sparks from her grinder at Dark Mark, compared flexibility with G and ate cake with her prize winning feet.
Arthur arrived with his entourage. He talked about how Chriss Angel inspired him to do magic, how women seem to be more willing to do magic than men are, how nervous he was performing at the Magic Castle for the first time and amazing everyone in the studio with a card trick that involved the 14 of hearts (?)
